The Jam Tree
There are endless food and drink establishments around Clapham Common that have a lively atmosphere and The Jam Tree is included in these. It's amazing in the summer, as the whole front opens up into a terrace. They also do bottomless prosecco brunch at the weekend.Read more

"Until 1926, Clapham North Underground Station was named Clapham Road."
I love popping down to Clapham Old Town when the sun is out for a quick bite to eat or a swift drink.
David Law
Clapham Old Town's elegant architecture really heightens its charm.

“Clapham is filled with nice luscious parks for walks with the kids, a vast green common for the weekend workouts and the cool eateries for a Saturday night out. Why travel any further when there's something for everyone here!”
